My Review:
This debut novel by Kinsey Taylor had all the feels. It had everything that can make a story good. Crushing Misery was a story about abuse, finding love in all the wrong places and discovering yourself again.
I fell in love with Kennedy. She was battered & broken but she still had her spirit and spunk.
And Corbin... Mmmmmm. Loved him. He was just the same as Kennedy but the two of them together was magnetic. Corbin for me, made this story. He was everything I fell in love with in this book.
Troy was just horrible.. And Ashlynn, I just loved her little spirit.
For a debut novel, this was great. Kinsey Taylor wrote with knowledge and experience that would make you think she's been writing for a long time. I can't wait to see what this author presents to us next.
4 stars!
Excerpt:
Through clenched teeth he demandingly asks, “Did you think I wouldn’t notice? You were eye-fucking the dude across the table from your brother, Kennedy. You cheating on me, whore?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Troy. I was looking at him listening to him talk,” I whisper.
“Bullshit, Kennedy.”
Just then, the atmosphere changes, goose bumps spread covering every part of my body. No! Not now! Not here! Glancing over my shoulder, I spot Corbin, his fists tightly clenched, moving in our direction.
“Is this guy bothering you?” he asks.
I shake my head no, and plead with him using my eyes.
“Mind your own goddamn business, asshole. This is my wife, and we are having a discussion, so piss off,” Troy says.
“Then why, as her husband, do you have your hands forcefully placed on her? When did it become okay to talk that way to your wife?”
Troy whips around to fully face him, and I have to move fast to get myself wedged between the two of them. Troy moves against me pushing me back to face Corbin. Placing my hands up I plead softly, “Tonight is my brother’s night, and I won’t have either of you ruining it. Please.”
“You don’t deserve to be treated like this,” Corbin says sternly looking up into Troy’s eyes.
